Stealth Shimmer

With the 6.22 stealth changes, a new "Shimmer" effect has been added. When you manage to damage a stealthed champion (invis or camouflage) with an ability, a brief image of them will appear - please note that this does not REVEAL it simply shows an outline of the champion.

You can not see this effect through the fog of war or in brush you don't have vision in.

[The mentioned playing around with a Shimmer effect in an earlier post - "one example we’re exploring is a shimmer that opponents can see when they hit Stealthed enemies (i.e. with a skillshot). This should give enemies a good sense of where the Stealthed target is so they can follow up and chase them down."]

Be sure to check out the original thread for more information on how to get started with replays, how to access them (match history on PBE LCU Alpha), known issues, etc.

Here's a gallery with additional images showing off the replays: IMGUR.
